Priests of Set
Serpentine Shadows: Unveiling the Dark Rites of the Priests of Set
Lyrics
Southward
Embarking southward
I made my way to a city where priestcraft reigned
Arriving in a city dominated by priestly power
Beyond the river Styx, I saw the black wall standing tall
Observing a formidable black wall beyond the river Styx
Watched by the great towers glaring down from the sky
Noticing imposing towers in the sky
I made my way through the darkest of temples, nothing but a broadsword at my side
Navigating through dark temples armed only with a broadsword
There in the darkness echoed the screams of a woman ahead
Hearing the screams of a woman in the darkness
And oh, what horrors there pierced my heart with dread
Encountering horrifying scenes that fill the heart with dread
The serpents were dancing!
Witnessing serpents dancing
Black figures were chanting!
Black figures engaging in chants
A virgin lay there, where the smoke began to rise
Discovering a virgin near rising smoke
And a hawk-faced man lifted his dagger for the sacrifice
Seeing a hawk-faced man preparing for a sacrifice
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Expressing emotional reactions to the unfolding events
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
-Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
-Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
-They are the black magicians
Describing the priests of Set, their fear-inducing practices, and their reverence for the serpent king in Stygia
Fear the priests of Set!
-They praise the serpent king
-In Stygia, the shadow reigns
-They are the black magicians
-Fear the priests of Set!
-They praise the serpent king
-In Stygia, where the scaled ones sing
-Sorcerers weave awful spells
Depicting sorcerers casting spells in the darkness, ruling under a wicked wizard king, and referencing black-walled Khemi
In the darkness of the pyramids
-(Serpent God, rise!)
-Under the wicked rule of the wizard king
-(Serpent God, rise!)
-In black-walled Khemi,
-Where the snakes slither free
Highlighting the presence of snakes in Khemi, virgins in agony, and a call for the serpent god to rise for feeding
(Serpent God, rise!)
-The virgins cry in agony
-When the time has come to feed
-(Serpent God, rise!)
Reiterating the rituals and practices of the priests of Set
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
-Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
-Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
-Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
-They are the black magicians
Reinforcing the fear of the priests of Set and their praise for the serpent king in Stygia
Fear the priests of Set!
-They praise the serpent king
-In Stygia, the shadow reigns
-They are the black magicians
-Fear the priests of Set!
-They praise the serpent King
-In Stygia, where the scaled ones sing
-Oooh!
Concluding with a mention of the priests of Set
The priests of Set
